Abstract

Circadian clocks monitor both light and temperature cycles to entrain behavior and physiology to the environment. Recently in Nature, Yadlapalli et al. (2018) identified a subgroup of Drosophila clock neurons that responds to temperature input with changes in intracellular calcium and mediates effects of temperature on circadian entrainment and sleep.
